So I am officially a senior now! WOW how awesome is that? Who would have thought that a junkie from the streets of San Francisco would ever be able to accomplish all of the things I have accomplished in my sobriety? The end of the semester was not just the end of school for the summer but for a number of different things. As some of you might remember I lost one of my other jobs about 2 months ago and had my heart broken all in the same day. Due to the series of unfortunate events that happened over those few day I came to many realizations. Today I have built a high level of self-confidence and I actually have a self-esteem. I have been doing to necessary things to change my life for the better and I seem to be relatively good at it. I am pretty sure that I have all As this semester, which means that I am entering my senior year with a perfect GPA and I am going to keep it that way. Anything anyone puts their mind to they can do. I have accomplished more things in the last almost 4 years of my sobriety than I had in almost 7 years of drug use. The feeling is beyond gratifying and is the reason I am alive today. Life and all of the ups and downs it bestows upon me make it that much more worth living. I have exceeded all of my expectations in life so far and today I can honestly say that I am proud of myself. I hope anyone who may be reading this knows that where there is a will there is a way….always no matter what. The opportunities are endless in life, it just depends on how badly you want it and strive for it!!
